CLEMSON - Despite the loss to the Irish, fifth-year offensive lineman Jordan McFadden still believes that the Tigers can make the playoffs this season. Nonetheless, the team is focused on taking things one game at a time.
“I’d be lying if I said we didn’t want to make it to the playoffs,” McFadden said this week. “But right now, our focus is getting back on track, beating Louisville.”
The loss to the Irish was a first since October 23, 2021, against Pittsburgh when the Tigers fell 27-17. In that game, just like against Notre Dame, junior quarterback DJ Uiagalelei threw an interception that was returned for a touchdown.
